OpenBMC for the KGPE-D16 is here and "works": https://www.raptorengineering.com/coreboot/kgpe-d16-bmc-port-status.php
This is stale, PoC state quality:
- SSH password is hardcoded to 0penBMC
- TTY gets corrupted after a while and OpenBMC needs to be restarted to fix the issue (asus_power.sh reset)
- Thermal management is for server, not workstation. That needs to be hacked to not have all fans, full speed, all the time since AST2050 controls thermal management when powered up.
- REST API is exposed
If you want the OpenBMC bitbake binary produced, let me know.
u-bmc would be awesome. I opened this ticket for u-bmc's KGPE-D16:

It's not really PoC quality; FWIW we actually use it in production (with passwords changed etc.). The main limits that are run into are related to the tiny AST2050 and its associated Flash device -- there is very little Flash or RAM available on these platforms (by modern standards) and Thierry is right about u-bmc being a better choice.
On our POWER line there's a new project called "!BMC" right now that offers a very minimal boot-only BMC. That targets the AST2400 and ppc64, but it might be an easy backport target to the D16 given the similarities between the hardware of the AST2400 and the AST2050.

I think it's the AST2500 which !BMC targets.
